For classical, try a piano. A tad expensive though. (3000 for an upright?)

Dude, there is no music making program. You have to hire someone or make it yourself. :D
Though, you can use Creatives Sound Studio, Recorders etc to edit, record and such. But there is no program that can make music for you. Sorry.

Seeing as most people here aren't familiar with it I'd recommend Reason (http://www.propellerheads.se/) which is pretty much all you'd ever need (possibly a midi controller, depends on how much you enjoy using the mouse. As for editing sound, Cool Edit Pro.

Fruity loops and Fruity tracks are ok I guess too.

Look at what Reason can do :). Reason takes Cubase outside, shakes its head pitifully and just walks away.

Reason is the daddy.

You lucky bastard! ;)

I've got an Epiphone SG400: cherry red, twin humbuckers, Super Slinky strings.

The amp is a Marshall MG30 that I got for Christmas. Not the best of them, but sounds pretty damn fine all the same, and it's more than loud enough (I've had complaints off the neighbours :nervous: ).


This is OK for the stuff I'm doing at the moment (just jamming with mates), but I'm looking at getting a full stack some time this year, probably a TSL 100. Then probably a Voodoo Lesbo or Explorer, as soon as I've saved enough.

What rig have you got?

Sonar 2.0XL rules. I use it with all my gear, it comes with some good software synths too. I have a Kurzweil K2600, Yamaha S08 Synths and the ReMote 25 controller and a Fender Stratocaster, oh, and a Djembe :-)

My amps a Marshall, nice valvey one, not too sure what it is cause it's not here at the moment, been practising with a drumming friend. I know it's a rare model cause I can't find a picture of it anywhere, nearest I can get is this (same colour too):

As for guitar, I'm playing a Maverick X1 and it's lovely, slim neck, twin buckers, fat aggressive and loud. The way it should be.

I got two Danelectro pedals (Grilled cheese (distortion) and Pastrami (Overdrive)) and a Zoom 505 multi effects pedal.

Want a Boss GT3 but I can't possibly justify the £300 minimum for it :).

Nice axe! I had a look at some Mavericks when I bought the SG. I liked the sound, but the neck didn't feel quite right - slightly too thin for my tastes. About the thinnest I'd go would be the '63 Les Paul profile.

I haven't seen that particular amp before - it must be a limited edition or something - keep it safe! Should be worth a bit in 20 years.  I really like the Valvestate range, but I find that for that kind of money, you may as well spend an extra £50-£100 and go for an all-valve one, one of the JCM2000's or a JTM45 or something. I think the extra tonal quality you get justifies the extra money. That's why I don't like the new Mode Four - it's LOUD (:eek: ), but because of the solid-state circuitry, it has a different tone to the pure-tube amps.

The GT-3's a rip-off. I wouldn't go near it at that price. You might be able to find a second-hand one on an auction site, but they get snapped up very quickly. Same goes for the Digitech Whammy - awesome, but over-priced.

As for pedals, I haven't bought any yet, but I built my own Crybaby....;7
